 Hello all!

I hope you all had a lovely half term break and I cannot believe we are in our last half term on Year 3 - how time flies! 

Swimming

The children have their swimming lessons each Wednesday. Please send your child in with either a swimming costume or shorts – no bikinis, please.  (If the children come in wearing their swimming things under their uniform, please pack spare underwear for when they get changed after their swimming lesson).

PE Timetable 

Monday (30 mins) 1:15pm

Wednesday (swimming) 11-12

Thursday (summer sports) - 2:15pm-3:15pm 

Home Learning Project – Due Monday 18rd July

You have a choice of 2 projects

1) Science - The Life Cycle of a Plant – Pollination, seed formation and seed dispersal.

You can present your learning however you would like to.

• Explore the part that flowers play in the life cycle of flowering plants, including pollination, seed formation and seed dispersal.

• Discover how seeds are formed by observing the different stages of plant life cycles; looking for patterns in the structure of fruits that relate to how the seeds are dispersed.

2) Scratch. Create a short animation or a game to entertain your class using scratch (or equivalent) . https://scratch.mit.edu/

Next Week 

English - We will be writing a persuasive letter. 

Maths - Next week in maths we will be learning time - analogue and digital. This is a very abstract concept for children so I would really appreciate if you could do some pre-learning this weekend to prepare the children for next week's maths.

Science - Plants. We will identify and describe the functions of different parts of flowering plants: roots, stem/trunk, leaves and flowers.

D&T - What is a pneumatic system?

RE - Stories from Christianity. 

History - To find out about the development of underground railways, and how they changed the lives of Londoners.
